Abstract/Summary
This thesis is an analysis of eight (8) selected short stories from Cristina Pantoja-Hidalgo's collection, Catch a Falling Star. Given that the collection utilizes the first person point of view of a young girl relived by her older self, this study determines how, if proven so, the child protagonist is both consciously and unconsciously gendered in a patriarchal society, and how this hegemonic system is challenged or perpetuated in the text.
Using Sara Mills' Feminist Stylistics as the framework, this paper aims to answer the questions posed above through the analysis of content, the writing language and style of the author, and the context's consequent implications on these.
